1. York Minster

The imposing minster at the heart of the city is the second largest gothic cathedral in northern Europe. Steeped in architectural and religious significance it's worth a visit whatever your spiritual persuasion.

Local taxi driver Ian Madden on car hire in York

Being a small city, car parking is scarce. Many areas are set aside for are residents and the keen traffic wardens work seven days a week. But don't worry - outside of the city you can park for free or at a small fee and take the regular shuttle bus into the centre for around Â£2. Most of the city's sites are within walking distance from there and I'd really recommend a walk along the ancient walls or the river banks.
